Do you remember my 25-pound frog? This frog turned out much better than that one.
To make him I cut two top pieces, and one bottom piece (see my template at the bottom of the post).
I sewed the two top pieces together.
Added button eyes and pinned a ribbon tongue in place.
Then I placed the bottom piece on top of the top piece, right sides together and sewed all the way around using a 1/4″ seam….leaving a 2″ gap on the inside of one of the legs. I filled him with beans and then sewed him shut.
He looks better with a crown on! A cute little frog prince.

My blog button you commented on- You are so sweet, and um, yeah, just so you know… I am a dummy Ashley. I deleted it and have no idea what the original file was… oh if only technology and I were BFF. Sadly, we fight alot.
But I won't make the same mistake twice.
LOL much better!

K, I LOVE THIS FROG!! When I was a little kid my grandpa used to make stuffed frogs and this brings back so many memories. LOVE IT!
That's so cute. Thansk for sharing the pattern. i can wait to try it.
Ashley- He's so cute! I just love him.
I just made this frog… thanks so much. My kids really like them. They are running and jumping around the house with them now.:) I made my frog out of an old green T… I am not an experienced seamstress and next time I will use a none stretching fabric.
Wow! I absolutely love your little froggy. So much, I made one myself! Thank you so much for sharing your pattern. You are so talented and I am constantly in awe of your ideas, designs, patterns and just general craftiness!
That is so cute! I love the tongue! Thanks so much for sharing this, I'll be linking.
My kids are going to love this too!
I am so excited to find this! My grandma used to have one of those 25 lb frogs she used as a doorstop. When I was little I loved to carry it around. I was so sad when she lost track of it during one of her moves… I can't wait to make one of your frogs for my family! Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you so much for sharing. I think this would make a great gift for my soon to be born nephew.
SO adorable!
